Hakodate Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Mount Hakodate Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Beautiful night view at Hakodate
As one of the world's three most beautiful night scenes, the night view of Mount Hakodate is truly worthy of the name. In the snowy snow of Hokkaido, there is a shimmering light, and there are small streets and alleys at night, and vending machines that never freeze. You must have a sprite in the place where there is snow.
Hakodate is the only mountain in Hakodate. It looks like a cow lying down, so it is also called Wagyu Mountain. There is an observatory on the top of the mountain. At night, in the middle of the sand neck, the street lights shining on the slender city street contrast with the dark sea. The oil lamp lit by the fishing boat of the inkfish is woven into a beautiful night view. The beauty of the night view of Hakodate lies in the two curved coastlines on both sides of the city. It is built in the sky and is rare in the world.
From the top of the mountain, the left side is Hakodate Port, and the right side is the endless Pacific Ocean. The two sides of the sea are spread out to the distance, and you can clearly see the whole city. When the lights are shining at night, the little lights of the stars become a point of painting, showing two beautiful arcs under the night, depicting a beautiful and elegant "the world's first night scene."
Off-the-Beaten-Path Travel Guide to Hakodate, Hokkaido: Photography and Gourmet Tips
I flew to Sapporo with my roommate for the Spring Festival and then took the Hokuto line to Hakodate. Currently, Hakodate might have fewer direct flights from the mainland, and although there aren't many tourists or shopping districts, this small city is truly a hidden gem, perfect for those who dislike the hustle and bustle and want to relax for a few days.
🍔Food Recommendations
1. Seafood is very affordable. If you want to try seafood and sea urchin on rice, you can go to the morning market next to Sapporo Station, where many small shops sell super fresh products. p2.3
2. Opposite the morning market is the famous Lucky Pierrot burger joint, which was mentioned in the second season of the anime Crayon Shin-chan's Hokkaido special. However, after trying it, I found the curry rice to be incredibly delicious! The fried chicken in the burger is similar to Chinese-style fried chicken, slightly sweet. p4
3. Continue walking towards the sea and you'll find a place called Kaikouin that specializes in various huge seafood items. There's a giant live octopus at the entrance which is quite impressive. My roommate and I were already full from the burgers, so we couldn't eat much, but their seafood variety is probably the most extensive in Hakodate, with all kinds of crabs and shellfish available. I glanced at the prices through the glass and they seemed reasonable. However, they only open in the afternoon.
4. How can you visit Hakodate without trying the local specialty, salt ramen? There's a ramen shop across from Sapporo Station heading towards Goryokaku, where the staff knows some basic Chinese. p5.6
📸Photo Spot Recommendations
1. Hachiman-zaka slope, where you can walk to the top of the road and use a telephoto lens to capture a photo of the road leading straight to the sea. p7.8
2. Walk from the Red Brick Warehouse towards Mount Hakodate, and you'll pass by a Lucky Pierrot burger joint. You can lean on the railing of the parking lot to take photos. p9
3. The vending machine in front of the parking lot at Kaikouin, using a telephoto lens and diagonal composition, you can capture the coast. p10
4. After reaching the Mount Hakodate Observatory, you don't have to go up to the second floor right away. Turn left on the first floor to a platform, then after coming out, walk down towards the Mount Hakodate sign, and turn right to a spot with an unobstructed view and fewer people. p11.12
5. Goryokaku Tower Observatory, it's recommended to take photos on the first floor of the observatory, where it's less crowded. p13.14

Hakodate Botanical Garden - Japan: Not only the different kinds of tree that you can enjoy, the best experience is to see a lot of monkeys enjoy hot water in onsen during winter time. They are so cute and their faces look so red when I meet them.
In the tropical botanical garden of Hakodate, Yunokawa Onsen, take a look at the refreshing 100 monkeys who enjoy the hot springs in the cold season. Every year from December 1st to early May, people inject hot springs into the pool. The monkeys jump into the pool to warm up. The monkeys look like ordinary people and they are unusually novel. It is a famous scene in Hakodate. Just getting off the bus will feel the cold and cold sea breeze blowing from the Tsugaru Strait. Watching the monkeys soak in the hot springs, while swaying in the hair or swimming in the hot spring pool, it is quite interesting to play and play. The water temperature at the source of the hot spring is about 60 degrees. By adding water to the hot spring pool, the temperature of the hot spring is kept at about 40 degrees that the monkey likes.

Hakodate City is the most representative seafood market in Hokkaido. Every morning, it is the most lively place in Hakodate. In addition to the seafood that you have just picked up, you can taste the freshest seafood. Moreover, if you go to the city, there will always be shop owners. Please try to eat long-legged crab feet. They are all free~~ Don't miss the passing road~
Why is the fishing in Hakodate famous for other fishing ports? I heard that it is because Hakodate is a meeting place for the cold current, the warm current of the horse, and the three currents of the pro-tidal current. It is also a gathering place for the Beiyang fishery, and the catch is naturally rich. Restaurants in the city are generally open until 3 pm, so the students who want to eat are best to come in the morning or at noon.

Kiralis Hakodate Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
The Hakodate Omori Inari Shrine is very close to the JR Hakodate Station. The taxi starts at 550 yen. Take the picture to show the driver if you don’t speak the language. He should know where it is. The shrine is small, but the is good for taking pictures. I dressed in a rented kimono which was white in color. I was too rushed to dress carefully. I used the telephoto as much as I could. The sun set early during winter so I try to finish as fast as possible.
The opening of the New Year's Day tour in the snowy world of Hokkaido, Japan, must be very romantic. Stepping on the soft snow, making a creaking sound, the sensory enjoyment brought to the body is really wonderful.
When the night of Hakodate, the world's three night scenes, falls, overlooking the millions of night scenes, the two coastlines and the lights under the mountains form the perfect night. Don't miss the Hokkaido Hot Springs in
Winter, the hot spring resort near Sapporo is in the Hell Valley. The Noboribetsu Onsen has as many as 9 types of hot springs. It is called the hot spring museum in Hokkaido, when the snow is floating in the winter. Soak in the warm springs and enjoy the freshness and romance that nature has to offer.

Hakodate Bay
#celebratewithtrip
Not only is Hakodate’s bay area packed with historic buildings and sights — it is one of Japan’s oldest ports and is now a stop for shopping, dining, museums and even a cruise. Lovely place, the famous Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses that have become a symbol of the city. We enjoyed shopping and dine in here.

As part of our Hakodate trip, we just drop in at this shopping warehouse to have a browse. The usual offerings of fashions, clothes, gift items and many more. But there was one store that caught my attention, it’s the samurai or ninja shop with quite a varied display of items though not as expensive as those in bigger cities like Tokyo. This is a shopping area based on several old warehouses at the seafront. The shops sell a large variety of goods, targeted mainly at overseas tourists. If you are looking for some special souvenirs to bring home, this is the place to shop. There are a few eating outlets, and quite crowded. Unlike shops in the city centre, the place opens into late at night. There is also a pier, where visitors can take a cruise of the bay, day or night.

I was there in December closer to Christmas so the Christmas decors were up. Also great place for buying gift and getting your meals.
The city most suitable for citywalk
🇯🇵The most suitable Japanese seaside city for citywalk: Yokohama✔️
Having traveled so many places in Japan, Yokohama is one of my favorite cities~ From Chinatown to Yamashita Park and then to the Red Brick Warehouse, strolling around with the sea breeze~ Compared to the fast pace and chaotic traffic of Tokyo, it highlights the comfort of Yokohama more...
